Overview

""Thirty-five-plus years of counseling leads me to this statistical conclusion: approximately one out of one people struggle with anger."" Anger is arguably the most common problematic emotion people feel. It is prevalent in every culture and experienced by every generation. No one is isolated from its presence or immune from its poison. The good news is that God has given us the Bible--a book that has much to say about anger and how to deal with it. In this thirty-one-day devotional, biblical counselor Robert Jones guides you through Scripture's teaching on anger: what it is, how to overcome it, and what behaviors to put in its place. Reflection questions and practical action steps for each reading help you to apply God's Word to your life. Try spending ten or fifteen minutes each day with this book, and see the difference it makes in calming your heart, reconciling with others, and growing in patience, contentment, and grace.

"""Anger is one of the most universal signs of humanity's basic sinfulness. From the moment Cain was moved in murderous anger to kill his own brother, anger has been one of the most seductive of sins, crouching ever at the door. In this new book, Robert Jones offers genuine biblical counsel on the sin of anger. Every Christian needs to read this book and heed its counsel. There is no remedy for anger--or any sin--other than the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no counsel sufficient for our right understanding of sin, except Holy Scripture.
